Open workbook from code without running macros
 

I'm trying to write a routine to update some remote templates by pasting
information from another workbook. The templates are designed to run a
userform to accept input but, for the purposes of the update, I don't want
these to run.

Is there a way to open a template from code in another workbook without
allowing the code in the template to run?

I can see 3 possible options:
1. Stop the code running in the template
2. Allow the template code to run, but automatically actuate the Cancel
button (CommandButton2) on the userform
3. Paste from the workbook to the template without opening the template

I can't find a way to do any of these, nor do I know if they are possible.

I've tried recording a macro in the hope of working through this, but the
part where I click to disable macros when the template opens doesn't produce
any code.

Any pointers will be welcome

Ian,

Turn off events:

Application.EnableEvents = False
Workbooks.Open "C:\Folder\FileName.xls"
Application.EnableEvents = True
